Cyber Monday deals to expect in 2022
Even in Australia, Black Friday / Cyber Monday is the best time of year to make any major purchase. Whether you're looking to buy a new TV or replace your mattress, Australia's retailers will always save their best discounts and deals until the end of the year.
That said, Cyber Monday 2022 might be slightly different to previous years, in that the pandemic is still causing shortages of essential components and parts across the globe, meaning certain items may sell out faster than usual.
For instance, even though PS5 restock has gotten better in the last few months, we still expect the in-demand console to sell out rather fast — especially if there's any sort of discount.
In summary, you can expect shortages like these to continue on for the rest of the year, meaning many items will be in low supply. Because of this, our advice is for Aussie consumers to take advantage of any great deals they spot and to get their shopping done earlier than usual this year.
When is Cyber Monday 2022?
Cyber Monday 2022 is on Monday, November 28. That said, you can expect Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals to start well before the official start date. Retailers such as Amazon, The Good Guys, Dell and Bing Lee are known kick off the season with early deals, so make sure you keep an eye out for discounts in the weeks leading up to the official start date.
Who has the best Cyber Monday deals in 2022?
In Australia, there are many retailers who will be competing to bring the best deals and discounts on Cyber Monday. As for which retailer will have the best Black Friday deals, that will really depend on which category you plan to buy in. For instance, Amazon, The Good Guys, JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman usually offer the biggest savings on 4K TVs, smartphones and appliances.
That said, those after a new PC or laptop should consider buying direct from brands such as Dell and HP. Additionally, it's worth keeping an eye on eBay Australia, which will offer discounts on practically everything, with even bigger savings for eBay Plus members.
Why is it called Black Friday?
An event that began in the US, the term "Black Friday" as it relates to shopping dates back to 1961, and was used to describe the crowded pedestrian and vehicle traffic that usually came right after the holiday of Thanksgiving in Philadelphia.
The term would continue to gain traction, eventually spreading throughout the entire country by 1975. Eventually, the term Black Friday would have a different meaning for retailers, marking the point in the US calendar year when companies go "in the black," meaning they would finally begin to turn a profit. This would allow them to slash prices on their remaining stock, leading to huge deals in the lead up to the holiday season.
While that time of year varies from country to country, the Black Friday sales event has been adopted all over the world, which is why Australia now takes part.
